Meta Sets March 2027 Cutoff for Quest 2 and Quest Pro Updates

ANKARA, Nov 3 (OPA) — Meta will distribute version 213 as the final operating system release for both the Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets. Although feature development concludes with this upcoming release, critical security patches and maintenance updates will remain active through December 2027 to ensure safe user operations.

Developers targeting the aging hardware will retain the ability to submit compatible applications to the store through December 2027. The phased retirement follows the commercial discontinuation of both models, with the Quest 2 having launched in 2020 and the Quest Pro following in 2022 before their respective withdrawals from the market in 2024.

Following the hardware shift, Meta has positioned the Quest 3 and Quest 3S as its baseline consumer devices. The transition aligns with the company's hardware roadmap, which includes the upcoming release of a new Meta VR Glasses model scheduled to hit the market in the spring of 2027.

The hardware progression allows developers to leverage unified software architectures across the Quest 3, Quest 3S, and upcoming devices. Meta emphasizes that applications built for the current hardware generation can scale directly into the shared software ecosystem of future platform releases.
